Welcome

I’m so glad you stopped by. My hope is that you find in my posts things that will fuel your personal growth and create positive ripple effects in all the facets of your life.
New blog posts will be published each Friday afternoon by 1 PM (Mountain Time). Each blog will present a core issue that frequently keeps us mired in our own suffering, preventing us from experiencing the joy that our Higher Power intended for us all.

If you would like to work with me one-on-one on your issues, I can meet with you in person or by Skype. See more at rjhandley.com.

Your Weekday Intention for February 7

Today, my presence and words will be a warm place for those seeking comfort in the storm.

This intention is about comforting others. Life can get pretty stormy at times, as we all know. Sometimes we are so involved in our own storms that we are unavailable to those around us who are suffering in theirs. Let’s be attentive today to another person’s pain. Let’s invite them to empty their hearts while we listen, without interruption or judgment, to their troubles. Later, if the person would like us to problem solve with them, then we do so thoughtfully with care and compassion. This is the gift we offer others.

For those of you joining us for the first time, I am posting a Weekday intention Monday through Friday at 6 AM Denver time. You can receive these as I post them automatically in your email by going to blog.rjhandley.com and clicking the follow button and entering your email address. Please join us in changing the world one person at time beginning with ourselves.

Just recently, I posted the first Weekday Intention. I included it in the blog post that was the introduction to all the Weekday Intentions that follow. It’s titled “The Power of Intention.” If you would like to read it, follow this link: https://wordpress.com/post/blog.rjhandley.com/518 “The Power of Intention” post provides more about the philosophy behind intentions and how they can change the way that you respond to life at work, at home, and at play.

These intentions have helped keep me attuned and connected to God’s power, love, and way of life. I created them based on my studies of authors such as Michael Singer, Thich Nhat Hanh, Eckhart Tolle, Ram Dass, Deepak Chopra, Adyashanti, Bill W. and others who are recognized masters of spiritual psychology.

Starting your day with the Weekday Intention is a great way to boot up with the spiritual software that will help connect and attune you with your Higher Power. You will then find that your Higher Power responds to the intention by working within your environment and circumstances to support your intention.

Here’s how to activate the inherent power of each intention:

Before beginning the workday, find a quiet place to sit, free from distractions.

Let go of “doing” and focus on “being.”

Ask your Higher Power for the power to live your intention as fully as you can, knowing that each intention is something that you can do today that will improve who you are and bring about the best outcomes for all those you come in contact with today.

Breathe.

Place your hand on your heart and connect with yourself.

Say the intention to yourself until you can feel its power within you.

Ask your Higher Power to help keep you aware of and committed to each intention throughout the day.

Begin your workday.
